BigRed618 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm doing this for a contest on another site. Yeah, this is sort of a weekly thing. I'm considering putting all these random crest concepts in one thread. EDIT: Yeah, I'll go ahead and make a series out of this. I'll do random crest concepts from all around the world. Requests welcome. I'll do clubs and national teams. Anyway, here's my crest concept for Sparta Praha, who plays in the capital of Czech Republic and is one of the most powerful teams in Central Europe. Here's their current crest... ...And this is my concept. I wanted to go with a wax seal with ribbon, which I feel makes better use of the team's tricolor. What do you think?

BigRed618 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 PERTH GLORY Perth Glory FC is the only name for pro soccer in Western Australia. For my concept, I wanted to give it a fauxback spin, something that would look right at home next to some NASL logos.

BigRed618 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 SSC NAPOLI Napoli is famous for producing such legends as Diego Maradona, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianfranco Zola, and many others. Their crest, a blue circle with a Times New Roman N is often mocked as a dull logo, despite it being used since the 1940s. For my concept, I try to retain the traditional N while bringing back O Ciuccio, a donkey-based emblem Napoli used long ago.

Axe Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Really nice job with the Napoli crest, fusing two elements to make something unique. They had a logo back in the 60s that had a horse on it with a ball and it looks a lot cleaner (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:SSC_Neapel_Logo_60er.svg). Maybe that will look better instead of the older crest you used? Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will look better instead of the older crest you used? Just a suggestion. I used this one because it resembled a donkey more, which is the Neapolitans' mascot. They're not called I Ciucciarelli (Little Donkeys) for nothing. CARACAS FC In case you don't know, Caracas is the capital of Venezuela, and home to one of the country's most powerful teams. Their emblem was taken directly from the city's coat of arms. For my concept, I put a wild, Mesoamerican twist to the classic lion. The rounded hexagon shape is meant to resemble a panel on a soccer ball. Their current logo: My concept: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nice! This is my kind of outside the box thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 CHICAGO FIRE SC You'll probably see quite a few American concepts here. The Fire has a decent logo that just needs a little tweaking to make it future-proof. First thing was to get rid of the grey. No reason for that to be there. Next I wanted something besides the letter C in the middle. I figured a six-pointed star was as good a solution as any. Their current logo... My concept...

BigRed618 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 VfL WOLFSBURG This German team had a decent logo, but it's been simplified so much, it barely represents what it's supposed to represent. My concept features a return to the castle theme used for much of Die Wölfe's history. Their current crest... My concept... Remember, requests are welcome. I'm looking for any bad, mediocre crests, or just emblems that are past their prime or need fixing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Love Wolfsburg! Normally, I'd say it's maybe a bit too stylized for soccer, but the stylization is actually a step down from what they've got now, so this totally works for them. I'm completely unfamiliar with Wolfsburg's logo history. Is this in any way similar to what they've had in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So seeing this, you kinda have an idea of how they arrived at a plain W inside what is almost a circle, as well as how I came up with my concept.

That said, I'm wondering if the basic forms of your logo could be tweaked a bit to make it look like a wolf's head. If I squint, I see a nose (the diamond on the bottom), two eyes and two ears, and maybe a ridge on his head. It seems really close to being one of those logos with a hidden logo inside of it.

In the meantime, here's another English team... BURTON ALBION FC Current: My concept: As you could probably guess, I was heavily inspired by the logo of the 1977 NBA All-Star Game, but I did try to make it look more like a tribute and less like a ripoff. The Brewers play in the Football League One, which may explain why you may not have heard much of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 AFC BOURNEMOUTH ...and now for that request from MontyK17. Here's their current crest... ...and here's my concept. Nothing fancy. Just something cherry-flavored, since their nickname is the Cherries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how a lowercase cursive k looks. I kinda based it around that. RAJA CLUB ATHLETIC Current crest Concept crest My first African club, based in Casablanca, Morocco. An older version of their crest featured the Green Eagle perched on a globe instead of a ball, and I thought that looked cool so I based my redesign around that.
